Finally!

1) Other than tripwire itself, is there something similar for windows, that monitors both filesystem changes (including separate filehandle "streams" in NTFS) and changes to the registry

2) Vaping is tech. Can weed be vaped? If so, what type/model of vape is used to do this?

>>56026666

nice quads.

No. IMHO programming well requires a special mindset, and that mindset is also found in autistic people.

So you don't need to be autistic, just programmers sometimes tend to have it.

Is it okay just buying a $900 PC from best buy if all I plan to do with it is shitpost, listen to music, minor gayming (don't need insanefps max graphics) and work?

Serious question. If so, what brands should I look for or stay away from? Any tips would be nice

I have a flash drive full of movies that my PS3 can't read when I put it in there, but it can read movies in the same file formats and encodings through network share. Problem is, it only reads files that are actually on my PC, even though I ticked all sharing/streaming boxes for the flash drive. PS3 media server doesn't work on my PC for whatever reason(PS3 doesn't see it but can see it on my girl's comp), and I don't have enough drive space left to put all the movies onto my PC. Halp?

2014 HP Omen here, this thing is incredible and cost me $950 on Amazon a while back. Does exactly what you've described for me on a daily basis and then some, except the gaming is pretty based. I'm talking 1080p/Max/30, 720p/Max/60 or 1080p/Med/60 on Dark Souls 3. Prices are probably lower with the new Omens out, even though they're shit compared to this one. Literally hollowed out Pavilions with gaymen stuff stuck inside, and not much stronger stuff than the 2015 Omen at that.

>>56026797
Try JTAG
Try an all in one toolkit or ADB via USB, if you can get your PC to read it at all

If all else fails, enjoy your brick.

A coworker of mine used to mix hash oil into his regular vape tubes, said it worked fine. I never tried it, allergic to THC.

>>56027114
Sorry, should clarify, I did exactly that. PS3 isn't seeing the flash drive or any videos from it when it's plugged into the computer, but is seeing the stuff that's on the computer. If I move just one video from the flash drive to the computer, it plays fine, but I don't have room for the whole collection.

What the fug happened to my VNC session?

I have a VirtualBox VM running a VNC server and this is what my client started displaying. It still sort-of responded to mouse movements so the VM hadn't crashed.

It fixed itself after a while.

It is a Linux VM running stock graphics drivers (no guest additions).

>>56027127
Well you've got to figure out what program is responsible for setting your libraries and change them to include the flash drive

So I'm trying to install windows 7 64bit on my GPT hdd. I have a (shitty) uefi bios.
So I'm booting my install CD but when I try to install windows on my partition the installer says that I can't install it on my gpt hard drive and I have no idea why. Any explanations/workarounds? I wish to keep the content of the rest of my partitions by the way.

In volafile.io profiles, some of them have a vgpk#

I'm having a problem with low graphic games recently.

Games like Hearthstone or an indie pixel game only get around 20 fps unless I start a more graphic intensive game beforehand.

So I'm having 20 fps in Hearthstone and start Overwatch just for 10 seconds or so and then I suddenly have my normal 144 fps in HS and other games as well. This "fix" stays for the rest of my computer's uptime.

Anybody knows anything about the "Hijack.Host" file in System32/drivers/etc? MalwareBytes' picking it up as a threat but I'm not sure if it's just a false positive.

I've modified the hosts file months ago to block out M$ IP's during the whole Windows 10 forceful upgrade fiasco, if it has anything to do with that.

>>56027379
They are ass, and they die young.

>>56027344
Well I'd just macrium the contents of those drives to a backup then erase everything and start over. If it's still giving you problems then try disabling secure boot/uefi and just go MBR with everything

>>56027424
Which PC do you recommend for gaming then? I was supposed to buy one this weekend.

>>56027385
If you have an Nvidia card and Nvidia control panel, just set the indie games to use the Nvidia card manually. They're probably auto-choosing your igpu due to low resource intensity, so if your igpu is ass, no dice. If you do have an Nvidia card and don't have Geforce Experience and Geforce Control Panel, download them.

>>56027063
Looks cool. I'll consider it, but I think I'd rather use just a stationary desktop at home tho. Is there a desktop near-equivalent to the Omen around $800-900?

Do you think an HP or Dell desktop could run a game like DS3 on like mid settings, or at the very least CSGO? The games I would play prob won't be too demanding at all

Are SATA-to-USB adapters reliable and generally usable? Ie. they don't destroy/corrupt the drive or its data?

I may have to replace my desktop computer with a laptop (a laptop *only*, no other computers) soon, but I don't want to lose access to its two internal 2 TB hard drives. I can't come up with any other reasonable way to access their data than an adapter. But I've never used such adapters before and their reliability concerns me.

>>56027474
I might just do that but still this is such a pain in the ass.
My bios doesn't even have an explicit secure boot or uefi option, sigh. What a monumental piece of shit. Maybe I'll try booting with an usb iso instead of a CDROM...

Dell, asus, maybe hp or acer.

>>56027518
I assume you mean under "manage 3D settings"? I don't really see anything that's about using my igpu instead of my gpu.

And can't I tell my goddamn pc I never want to use my igpu for any game?

>>56028531
http://www.clipconverter.cc/

This website works for almost everything I throw against it. Sometimes you have to click the next button twice when you try an unsupported website. By some magic it usually works then.

As soon as you click the download button it usually gives a highly annoying pop up add, but it's by far the best website I have found for it.

Or you can always use youtube-dl.

>>56028531
youtube-dl supports several sites.
otherwise press F12 and look in the network tab if there's a media file somewhere.
if the page is streaming with DASH or HLS then you need to download the chunks on your own and join them.

I want to install Windows 10 Home on my new build.
1) is it safe to buy Windows 10 Home OEM key from Kinguin?
2) do I need to do anything else other than downloading the ISO from the Windows website and burn it onto a USB flash drive?

>>56028692
Windows OEM Keys:

When you use an OEM key on your self build you violate the OEM System Builder license agreement. You must install the software using the OEM Preinstallation Kit and then resell the PC to a third party. If you install that software on your own PC, you don't have a "genuine" copy of Windows.

Reference:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/a/1/6a1647ee-3fc7-47f2-9afe-470ad5e5d856/oemsoftwarelicensingrulesandrestrictions.pdf


You can't just burn a Windows ISO. You need a tool like Rufus (for convenience).

Would it be smart to upgrade to a newer phone? I currently own an iPhone 4S and lately, it's been slowing down and/or freezing when I do basic stuff such as text, read content online or view photos.

I don't really care if it's a top-of-the-line phone, would an iPhone 5C be a good choice?

I'm interested in building a PC, and my brother is offering to upgrade his processor and give me his old one for nothing. I don't know the specifics yet, but I'm pretty sure it's an i7 quad core with around 2.5GHz per core. Would this be considered pretty outdated and/or useless?

I did a clean install of Windows 7 on my PC and installed all of my drivers and I'm having a very weird problem.

I've been trying to fix it all day, using google-fu but haven't figured it out so far.

Whenever I shut down my PC (which is wired to my router) or if it just goes to sleep from being idle for a while, all other devices in my house such as laptops, lose internet access.

I've tried re-installing drivers, unticking the "turn device off to save power" option in power management and a few other things.

I also confirmed it isn't my ISP.

Hello, I'm the guy who had a black monitor display yesterday!

I bought a cheap $30 GPU and plugged it in. When I booted up the computer, I got an image on my monitor! YAY! So it turns out that it was my old GPU that was wrong.

So I did something stupid last night and decided to try i3wm for the first time, so I installed it on my old thinkpad last night alongside xubuntu. I logged out of xfce, swapped to i3, went through the config steps, and set up my mod key. The problem is, however, after setting the mod key to the widows key, I looked down and noticed this particular thinkpad didn't have a windows key. Of course without the mod key, I can't do a whole lot when it comes to commands. After hard resetting with the power button, it automatically logs me back in to i3, meaning I can't switch my de to xfce again. Is there another way I can uninstall i3 or edit the config file without use of the mod key?

To connect to the Internet, we use one of these AC/DC adapters. Connecting the LAN and POE cables. The adapter is broken.

OEM keys are what people that build computers to sell them use.
Dell sells you a computer with Windows on it? That's on OEM key.

Can you just activate an OEM key on any computer? Damn right you can
Does Microsoft know if you just reinstalled Windows after changing the motherboard on your Dell Computer or if that computer has never been anything Dell ever? nah they don't

Downloading/ torrenting the installer is legal so you wouldn't even need a disc
If you enter the OEM key on the Micosoft website to get the iso they tell you to call Dell and ask them, so basically you just go download it where ever (it aint piracy if you don't steal the key)

In europe you can just buy OEM keys, it's not illegal. Most retailers only sell those because no one buys the actual ones.
They are around 30-50 euros cheaper than the normal keys.
The difference only used to be you got a 64bit or 32bit disc only, where as with a retail box you got both discs. The key is valid for both of course.

I need a cheap case/bag for my 17" gaymen laptop, any recommendation? Should I just diy it?

I'm having an issue with my Kobo h2o where I'm unable to access the internal storage of the device. When I plug it in, it does appear in Computer but it wouldn't let me access it and it appears as "unallocated" in Disk Management.

This is despite the fact, that on the actual device itself I am able to access books and other files stored on the internal storage and read them. I haven't been able to load new books on it either and have had to resort to putting books on a microSD card and loading that into the memory card slot.

Even while connecting the device to my pc with the memory card in it, the internal and external storage appear as separate drives of which I cannot access the internal and can access the external.

This can't be a case of MBR or just general corruption of the internal memory right? Otherwise I shouldn't be able to access the books stored there I think.

I'm looking for a good (and freely or cheaply available) ebook for learning shell scripting in zsh. Can anyone recommend one?

Decided to dual boot Xubuntu and Windows 7. Harly use my Xubuntu partition now I want to uninstall.

However, apparently I'm not cucked to Grub, especially if I don't have a windows recovery disk.

How can remove grub, and fix my mbr without a windows recovery key?

I've heard of boot-repair, but from what I can see it only reinstalls/fixes grub.

I have a G3 that I use regularly for Google Maps/navigation at work.

The GPS rarely updates to my current location in under 5-10 minutes. Allowing location services to use wifi to help doesn't help most of the time either. I installed a GPS status app which is supposed to force a update of the location which it seemingly does but the location still won't update in Google Maps for a few minutes.

Is it Google Maps that is a piece of shit? I've had the same problem with Waze. I'm gone as far to think that the GPS in the phone needs to be replaced.

I have no idea, but why do you need to uninstall grub anyway, it takes like, less than a megabyte of space.. it hardly matters.

>>56031553
first you have to check if your motherboard supports it

>>56031553
>>56031589
he doesn't have to check if his mobo supports it, well i guess he does, if it's old as fuck it wont work, its a software thing, if you've got extra audio ports than can be used as input or output indiscriminately...

As for the question, idk i just wanted to be snooty, but it's 100% software cause I use fuckloads of separate audio streams on linux all the time.


Just in-case you're doing it to seperate voice and something other than voice, set an output device to be default communication device, and another to be default audio device, this will send stuff like skype and teamspeak through the comms device and other shit through the normal device.

>>56031482

It's a very recent high-end pc. I just dont have the software to do it and theres no native feature to let me do it on windows.

I know there programs out there that do it but it's all free trail stuff rather than freeware like virtual sound cable.

>>56031553
Some applications and some games even allow you to configure which audio output device to use, everything else just uses the default. In the specific case of foobar2000, it does allow you to configure its playback device. So you can set foobar to play through your speakers no matter what, set your headphones as default and play a game. You'll get music from your speakers and your game through the headphones.

>>56031682
if you've got a realtek audio device install its drivers and poke around in there, i vaguely remember using it for something like this a few years ago.


The problem is lots of software on windows doesnt even ask what device you want to output audio on, and windows is always going to select a default device even if you had 30 sound cards in your machine.. so if the software doesnt have the option to choose output you're fucked.


Aside from that there is no way to do it without thirdparty software, windows does not support it at all.

>>56031682
If it's a realtek audio, then open up realtek audio manager and go to advanced settings.
There you can enable playing separate streams on front and rear audio devices.

Alright, so I have a workstation and I just bought some Registered RAM. Problem is, it doesn't fucking work, and it definitely SHOULD. Now, Lelnovo says max specs for this thing is as follows:
Memory

Type DDR3 Unbuffered SDRAM
ECC Supported
Maximum Capability : 1600MHz, UDIMM : PC3-10600 (1333MHz), RDIMM : PC3-8500 (1066MHz)
Max DIMM Sizes : 4GB
Maximum system memory : 24GB

Now, I am 100% positive that these limitations are sheerly based on the W3550 inside of it. I'm going to put an L5640 in there, and I have two questions:

First, will the L5640 be compatible with my system? It's an S20, by the way, and I'm sure it will be. Same socket and everything, but I just want to be sure.

Second, what is the maximum size and number of RAM that I can use for that processor? I currently have an 8GiB module.

Registered RAM is buffered RAM. You dun goofed.

How do you truly delete something from a computer? From google I've so far done a cclean as well as recuva to write over the deleted files. Is there anything else to do?

I'm going for my first build ever. I have about 3000 euro saved up, so budget is no problem, but I'm wondering a couple of things :
1. Is it worth it to go for a 1080 if I'm not going to be playing 4k. Hell, is it even worth it to go for a 1070 over a RX480 or 1060 if I'm playing on 1080p?
2. Is an i7-6700k overkill? Should I just go for an i5-6600k?
3. Are Z motherboards the one ones that support overclocking?
4. Is VR worth it?

>>56032249
unplug the windows hdd and see if you can even boot into tails.

i dont know what any of that other shit is

>>56032160
Yeah I read it, did you? Because of the high density a single pass is fine now. And like I said: if you are that paranoid just smash the HDD.

>>56032172
Then why are you asking how many GB the processor supports?

Also: you said you bought Registered RAM and the specs clearly say that "DDR3 Unbuffered SDRAM" is supported. Therefore buffered (aka registered) RAM is not supported.

>>56032245
>I have to call my family members five times before they pick up because they can't hear their ringtone
What horrible people, just leave them whatsapp voice messages or a text.

>>56032264
modern motherboards generally have hdmi out on them, check the specifications of the motherboard, it will say. also modern graphics cards also have hdmi out, in case you are buying a gpu as well.

>>56031320
I've been messing around with it for about an hour now and nothing I do seems to have any effect on the fans and temperatures.
I did everything this guide told me to, but nothing helps: http://www.almico.com/sfarticle.php?id=5
Any idea what the problem might be?

>>56032271
For your sake I hope the feds never knock on your door because you are wrong. I don't care to argue this anymore..

>>56032297
Just smash and burn the fucking disk and get it over with.

>>56032297
They're very very eager, but small-time stuff isn't important, if you went on ToR and looked at some cp one time you're probably fine.

Make a habit of it and it's going to catch up with you one day, it costs a lot to raid people, consider if your actions are worth the government investing ~100k to come and get you.

Has anyone managed to get Pandora to work with the Vivaldi Browser?

>>56031973
> 16:9
Yes.

>>56031994
Use BleachBit.
Alternatively, seven passes with a strong magnet over each side of the hard drive.

>>56032008
Get a dual socket 2011-V3 motherboard, some E5-2xxx V3 or even V4 series CPUs (preferably Engineering Samples, they're much cheaper), a RX 480 if you're going to keep playing 1080 on a single screen, you shouldn't need to overclock, and no, VR isn't worth it (yet).

>>56032274
I wish. They need something to sound for them to be reminded of their phones, otherwise they reply to my text hours after or until I meet up with them in person only for them to pull out their phones and apologize for not checking it.

>>56032366
>Engineering Samples
Where do you buy those? To my knowledge they are not sold.

>>56032286
Just checked the box. Hdmi port ready. Thank you anon.

>>56032487
wont get raided for that, and if you did it wouldn't hold in court. "i was looking for music and I found this link" "where did you find the link?" "i cant remember"

you have to make a habit of it for it to be an issue, but delete the data anon.

>>56032487
Not that anon but I expect that they would go after the distributor and not the one time downloader.

Is there anyway to make it so my drive letter of my usb doesn't change regardless of what windows pc I'm plugging it into?

I heard you can code a backend in Java... if this is the case, why does anyone use node, rails, django, or C?

Also, where do i find tutorials on making a java backend? (Std libs only, please)

>>56032518
I dont think so, since most OSs would need a protocol for dealing with your USB if that drive letter is taken

>>56032516
>>56032517
Thank you very much you guys I'll still keep a pill nearby at all times

What are some cool technology related YouTube channels that have long videos I can listen to in the background while working?

What browser should I use?

So I'm using a tether to my phone with a third party app, if it matters the app is PdaNet, that's all fine and dandy but it will not let me connect to a VPN on the PC side, is there any sort of way I can connect or am I SOL?

I know I was told by other anons that torrenting and the like really should not be done on a phone connection, but until there's a database of mega links for movies and music I don't think I have an alternative

>>56032271
> Also: you said you bought Registered RAM and the specs clearly say that "DDR3 Unbuffered SDRAM" is supported. Therefore buffered (aka registered) RAM is not supported.
Yeah, you're a fucking retard.

Fully buffered DIMMs are denoted by an F in their name, such as PC2-5300F. Registered DIMMs are denoted by an R in their name, such as PC3-8500R.

Did you even read the fucking Capabilities?

> Maximum Capability : 1600MHz, UDIMM : PC3-10600 (1333MHz), RDIMM : PC3-8500 (1066MHz)

This means that it can take PC3-10600U, and PC3-8500R.

Buffered RAM hasn't been made since DDR2.

>>56032580
Have you ever heard of this thing called podcasts?

>>56032627
Okay what are some of those I can listen to?

>>56032572
so it just assigns the first unused one?

>>56032396
> Where do you buy those? To my knowledge they are not sold.
That is correct.
However, if you look at places like eBay or Craigslist, you may just *happen* to find a couple of people or "people" doing just that.

>>56032652
I like NPR's Note to Self, although the host gets a bit self righteous at times

>>56032613
Cool beans, my apology in that case.

>>56032396
And please, ask me any questions regarding Engineering Samples. I'm sure you'll have a few.

>>56032686
Nah. I cannot listen to NPR. I can listen to Stefan Molyneux :).

>>56032700

>>56032602
I'd say you're SOL, but that's just me. I don't have any experience with PdaNet, but I know that you have to buy the paid version to use HTTPS.

>>56032690
It's alright.

>>56032747
yes

Can Bluetooth devices tell distance and direction from each other? Any wireless technology that does this?

>>56032873
Without looking into it at all they can tell distance by signal strength, it would be rough, but they can, wifi devices can do it so i imagine bluetooth can.

To tell direction you'd need 2 devices to triangulate.

>>56032889
>>56032873
oh and you could also tell direction by quickly polling signal strength and moving the device around, the direction you move the device in that results in stronger signal is the direction the device is at.

I only considered stationary devices.

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING

>>56032914
why is what happening?

Can anyone recommend a rack for a HP Proliant DL360-G5? I bought one of these and it's just sitting around. I'd like to mount it with the rails it came with

>>56032889
Not the same guy, but can't signal strength be reduced by thick walls and other objects?
I don't see how it's a good indicator of distance.

>>56032934
>4GB

>>56032935
It's a default rack mount right? Just any rack would do fine.

>>56032936
sure it can, but it would still be related to the direction of the broadcasting device..

Device (wall) reciever.
All the signal after passing through the wall will be weaker, so it will reduce at a somewhat linear rate past the wall. The wall will just be a significant hit in signal. As you get closer to the wall, the weakened signal would still increase.

>>56032936
Wouldn't it be possible to measure how long it takes between sending and receiving?

Is it okay to put your phone in the refrigerator to cool it down?

>>56032998
http://superuser.com/a/1091794

>>56032998
Sure, if you want condensation all over it
Probably wont kill it

>>56032991
That would probably have a similar usefulness as just measuring signal strength.

And you can measure signal strength without having a connection to the device sending the signal.

>>56032971

Can you elaborate. I is retard

>>56031482
vim is for C (and real men, kudos), use pocketcpp for C++

>>56032547
anyone??

>>56033132
The rack unites all have default sizes.

The rack I have my networking stuff on is too small for it. I need another. The Proliant is on the right. On the floor

How fucked is someone who only went for a CS degree because people said it paid good and isn't super keen on programming? I don't dislike programming and sometimes have fun with it but I don't go out learning things on my own that often. Graduated but haven't found a job yet, should I just go for something low level like IT?

So I just got Antergos. I followed this guide (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=214313) to install the driver for my RX 480. I followed everything exactly but it seems like it isn't working properly. I had to force my display to 1920x1080 from the default 1024x768 for Xorg and Steam doesn't run. Help?

On Android, where does Spotify keep its' downloaded songs?

I quit my code monkey sweatshop after getting accepted into junior sysadmin position. Did I fuck up?

Which color Western Digital hard drives are best between blue, green, and black?

I'm planning to get a couple 3tb drives for media storage that I'll be using regularly and I want to make sure I'm buying the longest lasting ones.

>>56033378
Yellow, that is RE series.

>>56033378
green for storage
red for storage inside a NAS
SSDs for anything else.

I have zero personal experience building a desktop, but I want a good gaming build that I can upgrade as needed.
http://pcpartpicker.com/list/j3bL2R
I've already got accessories like monitor and keyboard etc from my last PC that broke.
Suggestions or anything super important I'm missing?

>>56033311
Nope.

Enjoy your new life!

>>56033378
Out of the ones you mentioned, I think the Black would be best, but people generally think that it's too loud. Blue's the second best, followed by Greens, which are the worst and are only suitable to data storage.

>>56032871
What about all the articles and even the EPA that talks about how Ozone is such a toxin and is ineffective?

>>56033418
you want either 2x or 4x ram sticks, 3x does not benefit from dual channel.
the 970 is heavily out of date by now, look at the 1060 or 480x
you accidentally added a blue drive instead of an ssd

>>56033185

Does anyone know a eBay page or link that could help me here?

>>56033469
Sweet, thanks

This is probably asked very often, but which is the best version of the GTX 1060? Is Zotac alright to go with?

File: folder bar.png (3KB, 957x27px) Image search: [Google]

3KB, 957x27px

What buttons do I press in Windows to change this bars color?

It's on top of every folder, it has this wishy washy blue color that makes my foobar look like shit and I don't like that.

I don't even know what the thing is called so I have a hard time using Google to find help

Note that I don't want to switch all the way to the classic Windows theme, there has to be some way to just make this bar a reasonable color
I tried to change every color that the control panel would let me to bright red and that bar is still fucking blue

I need some help fixing >windows aero.

I recently moved and when I got to my new place aero suddenly wasn't working, I've tried running the troubleshooter, messing with desktop service manager thing, updating graphics card driver, and refreshing my windows experience score but nothing seems to be working.

any help would be appreciated

>>56033418
Gonna have to say you should rework almost everything

Switching to skylake will be almost the same cost for a more modern platform

I'd get a better cooler if you're going with an i7

Get an SSD of at least 240GB to pair with an HDD, if you get a 500 or 1 TB SSD you could just drop the HDD entirely

The 970 is outdated like >>56033469 said but if you're going with an i7 you should at least get a 1070, otherwise I'd recommend dropping your CPU to a i5 in a gaming focused build

A full tower is going to be way bigger than you'll ever want, save some there and get a smaller and cheaper case.

>>56033752
Pretty sure not even classic theme changes that thing.

How long should I wait for Razer to stop trying to milk retarded buyers and finally to price the Razer Core close to what it's worth.

I don't want to install some gay theme from Deviantart so Foobar doesn't have those stupid light blue bars everywhere

>>56033828
What does explorer have to do with foobar?

>>56033912
All the toolbars in Foobar look the same as that blue bar in the explorer, apparently they are connected

Anything I found on the internet about changing the color in Foobar is people posting about how I should download their totally radical Windows theme because that's the only way to change it for some reason

I don't understand why anyone would have it be that way

>>56033707
>>56033716
Please help, I cannot discern which versions are worth buying. I'm not looking for oc/sc by the way, just standard.

Zotac is fine. They're good for a basic model. They don't mod the shit out of things like some other brands, but they make reliable products
